The personal nutrition plan that I chose is the Ketogenic diet. The ketogenic diet is a low-carb and high-fat diet. It lowers blood sugar and insulin levels and shifts the body’s metabolism away from carbs and towards fat and ketones. There are four different types of Ketogenic diets, the first one is the standard ketogenic diet. It is a very low-carb, moderate-protein, and high-fat diet. The second diet is the cyclical ketogenic diet, it is a diet that involves higher carb refeeds. Third, is targeted ketogenic diet, it allows you to add carbs around your workout. The last diet is high-protein ketogenic diet, it is very similar to the standard diet because it requires more protein in the diet. The most recommended diet out of the four is the standard ketogenic diet. This source is claiming the Keto Diet reduces symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The symptoms that improved most after keto dieting were urinary problems, pain and other unpleasant sensations, fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and cognitive impairment. These findings are particularly profound because nonmotor symptoms ultimately represent the most disabling aspect of Parkinson’s disease. Over time, an adaptive response occurs, and the patients experience a reduction in symptoms (Irimia& Gottschling ,2016). The nature of the source explains how effective the keto diet is on Parkinson disease reducing symptoms, I believe this source is reliable because the ketogenic diet is considered a supplementary treatment that has tremendous potential, potential that may be increased with the help of ketone supplements (Irimia& Gottschling ,2016). This source supports the claim on reducing the symptoms of Parkinson disease, I concluded it from what my sources said because of the eight-week dietary research study, both diets were found to be safe, and both groups experienced significant improvements in motor and nonmotor symptoms. This is great news for any patient who is struggling with Parkinson’s disease (Irimia& Gottschling ,2016). There is a lot value to this nutrition plan because it can be used as a every day meal plan and studies suggest that it can help with Parkinson disease.
This source is claiming people with type 2 diabetes found that 7 of the 21 participants were able to stop using all diabetes medications. The low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet may be effective for improving glycemia and reducing medications in patients with type 2 diabetes. The low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet may be effective for improving glycemia and reducing medications in patients with type 2 diabetes. From an outpatient clinic, we recruited 28 overweight participants with type 2 diabetes for a 16-week single-arm pilot diet intervention trial. We provided LCKD counseling, with an initial goal of <20 g carbohydrate/day, while reducing diabetes medication dosages at diet initiation. Participants returned every other week for measurements, counseling, and further medication adjustment. The primary outcome was hemoglobin A1c (Yancy, William S,2005).
